LECTURER RECOUNTS
ADVENTURES IN EGYPT
Students Applaud Interesting
Account of Mrs. Demarchus
Brown, Traveler
Mrs. Demarchus Brown save an interesting account of Egypt yesterday afternoon during the conference period. The
famous lecturer was introduced by Miss
Lloyd.
"I love the story of Egypt," said Mrs.
Brown in her opening sentence. "There
are so many things to learn and so
little time to learn it in the time ofj
one life. I hope that you will study his- !
tory not because your teacher commands j
it but because of your love for it. I
would rather look at the pictures in a
book of Egypt than to go to a movie.
"I have always loved Greece. Por a
long time I didn't pay any attention I
to the peoate along the Nile. But once!
when visiting in a London museum I!
flrst bttcame interested in the history j
of Egypt.
"Cairo, the capital of Egypt, i.s quite a !
modern city. It dates back to nine:
hundred years after Christ. Cairo is I
an Arab city. In Cairo there is a mu- j
seum, the construction of which is owed '
to a French scholar who persuaded the I
Turkish king at that time to construct j
a beautiful building for the housing of
their treasures. Owing to the En^l'sh i
intervention at an earlier date Cairo I
now has the most beautiful of hotels,;
splendid roads and well operated railroads. The English have turned Egypt I
from a land of bareness and waste to,
a land of fertility and wealth.
"S"v-"*al times we made excursions]
from Cairo across the river to thc sandy

cart. In this sand cart we were taken J
fi *• ac -I- th"* plow ground over earth
that was black as ink. The roads are i
very high preventing transporta'iTi dif-
Acuities during the flood season. Traveling along the road we looked down and
far below us saw the peasants at work, i
I understood then why the prophets al- i
ways went to the poor people and tried I
to comfort th°m, As we were driven <

Many Shortridgers, going to and from
football games at our athletic field, have
undoubtedly noticed the small group of
buildings that compose the Orchard
School. .
Nine years ago, this school was formed
to embody the principles of progressive
education.
Under this system, the students are not
hurried along a fixed program, but absorb knowledge through interesting
methods which help them to enjoy their
studies more.
Educational movies are used quite often. For example, a movie recently
shown demonstrated the steps in making a movie cartoon. Another picture
showed groups of animals which are-
useful to man the world over, ••such as,
llamas in Peru, and w«Aer-buffalo in
India.
Many practical ways are used tc^teach
the children things. If they need to
learn the use of money, a miniature bank
is established.
The progressiva effect of the education
is most noticeably present in the school
shop where groups of hildrcn launch
and carry out their own projects. The
.,.. ,,„. ^.. r"mni., o-ivp^ them advice and
occasionally a little help in the work.
' ol younger children
made puppets and put on a puppet show.
rhe subject was an Incident in the life
♦of the Vikings.
The pupils o'f the school have formed
i finance corporation which buys such
things as moving picture machines.
j Every child has stock in tho company
| and shares In the profits.
; For many years, the school has been
existing quietly, preparing its first graduating class, •.•chich graduated three
•years ago.
Now it is sending Its graduates to
high and private schools.
